J.R. Smith Twitter Battles: Knicks Guard Fires Back At Fans After Heat Win (TWEETS)
By The Huffington Post News Editors
In a basketball game with 71 total made field goals, 158 field goals attempted, 39 personal fouls and 31 turnovers, it is hard to say that any single play — or player — wholly determined the outcome of the Heat’s historic win over the Knicks.
Of course, that didn’t stop people on Twitter from blaming Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith for the team’s come-from-ahead loss.
With the Knicks trailing, 97-93, with less than 30 seconds remaining, Smith threw a crosscourt pass intended for Carmelo Anthony that was anticipated by LeBron James, who swooped in for the steal and coasted for the game-icing dunk. This play provided the exclamation points to an impressive comeback and stretched the Heat’s winning streak to 14 games.
